I'll Try Defying Gravity Trading - Circa December 17, 2019 - OPEN FOR WANTS

Completionism: Almost Famous; We Are the Tigers

Welcome, everyone! I'm Alice, your local theatre nerd. I haven't been trading for long and thus don't have even close to a large collection, but I hope you can find something regardless. My favourite shows are Six, Anastasia, Waitress, Wicked, and Frozen, but I'm a firm believer that almost any trade is a good trade. Feel free to contact me for a trade or general information/rules on trading any time as long as I'm open! Thank you and have a lovely day.


Rules:

  • Do not contact me to trade anything that is NFT/NFT except through master. You will most likely be blacklisted and I will both refuse the trade and keep an eye on you and your trading in the future.

  • Don't send links from YouTube, bilibili, vimeo, or any other streaming site. They will not be accepted, nor will rips from these sites. In fact, please oh please send me the original files through a trade. Converted files suck to deal with. As of July 16, 2020, I only accept video links from mega. Audio links from any site are allowed.

  • I have a life! (Well, kind of.) Give me a few days to respond to your trade request/email. Usually I will respond within three days but that is not a guarantee! Please don't email me a reminder until a week has passed unless you have sent your links. If you have, feel free to spam me as much as you want.

  • Feel free to contact me even if I'm closed for trades/only open for wants. I won't get to you unless I'm bored out of my mind or open for those again, but regardless I will get to you eventually!

  • I am not obligated to gift to you or even trade with you. If I refuse a trade, it's nothing against you (...most of the time). Please don't take it personally!

  • Do not contact me on tumblr unless you are a seasoned trader. New traders can contact me through email & encora, but do NOT DM me on tumblr. I will ignore it unless I am ridiculously bored.

  • I'm trading partners with Dot (aroseremembered). If you have any questions/concerns about this, let me know and we can work something out!

  • I do not sell or buy anything. The only exception is listed on my Contact page.

  • Include your list/site when initiating a trade with me. I don't do "this for that" trades.

  • When initiating a trade, please list specifically what you want! Not "Hamilton West End" or "Six original cast". I have a lot of stuff, and probably a lot that fits those categories. There are listings for a reason, and quite frankly I don't have time to go through the "do you mean Edinburgh or cast album or original West End?" conversations. Always list the show name, production, date, and master at the very least.

  • If you initiate a trade, send your links first. If I initiate, I'll do so.

  • Please make your own links. I don't routinely break mine, but I also can't guarantee that they'll always be up. Plus, it's a cool thing to do and considerably safer for the masters. If a link breaks within two weeks of our trade, I will gladly reupload for you. If past then, feel free to contact me, but depending on a number of things I may not get back to you.

  • Even if I refuse a trade, I will always email you back unless: a) you have knowingly requested something NFT. b) you are a trader I don't want to interact with (see blacklist). I am not obligated to reply to emails past an initial response (e.g. responding to emails after I've declined a trade or asking for a link reupload more than 2 weeks after our trade).

  • I follow traditional trading rates! 1:1 audio, 1:1 video, and 2:1 audio to video.

  • I do not put screencaps for boots anywhere on my site- this makes it more likely to be taken down. If you would like some, contact me through one of the ways listed on my Contact page and I'll get them to you!

  • I know all these rules probably make it seem as if I hate trading and don't want to trade with you, but please don't be scared off! I genuinely do love trading and anticipate new trades with great excitement. Don't hesitate to reach out!


Blacklist:


Goldlist:

  • aroseremembered (she/her) - my trading partner! Dot is an amazing person and lovely trader who I highly recommend.

  • screechout (they/them) - Nat is a very well-established trader, being an encora admin, having mastered both audios and videos, and having a large collection (especially in regards to Wicked, Waitress, Come From Away, and Six). They're also a truly wonderful person.

  • its-all-green (she/her) - yet another encora admin, Holly is lovely and well-established. She has an especially large collection for Wicked and Bat Out of Hell and takes great masters.

  • Six_Trading (he/him) - Jack is one of my go-to traders for Six! He's a very kind person and happy to gift and trade with most anyone.

  • Charlie (he/him) - distinguished by his large collection and friendly demeanor, Charlie is one of the best people to go to for large trades!

  • politedemon (she/her) - a generally smaller trader, Abbie usually only trades for wants. However, from my experience she is more than happy to gift.

  • imhereletscheer (she/her) - a newer trader, Carrie is wonderful and has a fairly large collection (particularly for Six). I highly recommend her!

  • shesmydoctor (she/her) - a longtime encora admin and lovely person, Faith has one of the largest collections. The two shows that come to mind that she specializes in are Waitress and Falsettos, but she has large collections for plenty of other shows too!

  • cosmictrading (she/her) - Cam is a smaller trader (no large trades!) but one of the nicest people ever and an expert in Six and & Juliet.

  • BroadwayEmpire (he/him) - extremely kind and with a large collection, Jake is wonderful to trade with.

  • Sakura Rouge (she/her) - Lys is super nice and has a fairly large collection. She's my go-to for Moulin Rouge!

  • Musical93 (she/her) - other than having lovely masters and a large collection (particularly with Six), Amy is a very fair and kind person. I highly recommend trading with her!

  • The Musical Speakeasy (he/him) - Evan is honestly one of the nicest people in the trading community. A personal friend, I highly recommend trading with him! He has a very large collection and is always looking to expand, but doesn't mind gifting either.

  • oneperfectmoment/peggy-maria (she/her) - a personal friend, Chanel is very well-established despite being fairly new to the trading game. If you're looking for Hamilton, I guarantee she either has it or knows where to get it.

  • lasagnatrades (he/him) - Lasagna is another of my go-to people to trade for Six! He's super nice and always willing to gift as well.

  • Lowen (he/him) - perhaps recognizable from his numerous (all 10/10) masters, Lowen is also a lovely trader! His largest collection being & Juliet, he has a good-sized collection and fair trading rules.

  • connorsrequiem (she/her) - I'm perhaps biased toward Amanda because of her recording a DEH performance so close to when I saw the show, but regardless she's one of the best small traders out there.

  • RiversTrades (she/her) - a lovely trader (crazy nice and very respectable), River has excellent taste in musicals and is shooting for DEH completionism. I highly recommend trading with her!

  • pyladic (she/her) - an original encora admin and absolutely wonderful person, I definitely recommend trading with Hannah! She's honestly one of the nicest and most helpful people out there.

  • lalunepensive (she/her) - Lune is a lovely, quick trader with a good-sized collection. She's one of my favourite people to trade with!
